In this brief industry‑insight video, the presenter emphasizes that 39% of investors assess property managers based on repair costs. He advises owners to compare a manager’s repair charges and repair speed against open‑market rates, warning that faster repairs often sacrifice quality or increase cost due to the classic cost‑speed‑quality triangle. The segment closes with a call‑to‑action inviting viewers to comment with their thoughts and to contact Centurion for property‑management services.

Another video about some industry insights. So there's a small list here. I would like to go through them really quick. Uh, number 4, uh, repair costs. 39% evaluate their property managers on the repair costs, and that's super important. But I think one of the things that we want to look at is not just what the property management company is charging, but what the property management company's repair charges are compared to, uh, what it would be out in the open market. I think it's not just, oh, I'm getting charged a lot. Well, things cost a lot of money, repairs cost a lot of money, so it's really good to make sure you're comparing apples to apples. But not only the repair cost, but the repair speed. This is kind of interesting too because you've heard the triangle, right? Cost, speed, or quality, pick two. And it is a challenge to get things done cost-effectively while also getting them done fast. The faster you do them, usually you're sacrificing either some quality or some— it's costing more money or a little bit of both. If there's different things that come to your mind, we'd love to hear.
